been thinking bout this one myself. was thinking about leaving buckets next to plants with a couple of pin holes. so when ever it rains they will fill. still got to test how long it will take to drain. another idea is havin a long shoe lace or 4 out of the bucket and putting the other end in ground it will stay damp and roots will go to it as a resevoire

making a garden drip system is not very hard - the tough part will be the water source..
i work on people's yard drip systems all the time - you just buy the blue-striped tube, connectors and emitters you need at any garden supply store.. it also helps to have a poker for making the insertion holes in the main tube - they sell special little pokers..

but maybe i have missed the point of the question.. though the tubes are all dark and made to blend in with the ground..

for large blue-stripe there are various connectors like for a garden hose or whatever your water source is..

yes i was thinking of this myself but i was gonna use 2liter soda bottles conected to a hose with some kind of flow valve but i need to water 5 plants and a bunch of soda bottles in a bush wouldnt be that stealthy.I have to be stealthy becuase i only have one bush in the middle of a feild that is hiding my plants.

burry the bucket and put sticks and leaves over top to desguise it. i would say 2-3 buckets for 5 plants the more the merryer i guess
